El Asador Vasco

Perched like a theater box overlooking the twilight entertainment in the Zócalo, the Asador Vasco lays on good Oaxacan, international, and – as the name implies – Basque food. Long-standing fans rave about the creamy corn soup, grasshoppers, Spanish cheeses, and sea bream (besugo) in a traditional Basque sauce. Then there's the irresistible dessert trolley which they wheel round afterwards.
